          <by role="member" id="4840">The SPEAKER (15:02):</by>  Members on my left and right! Member, be seated. I can refer to the statement that I made earlier today. I did provide the house with an update concerning the independent investigation into the alleged behaviour of the member for Waite from 13 December. I have been informed that the police have reported Mr Duluk for basic assault; therefore, I suspended the independent investigation and directed the investigator to halt the process of undertaking any further interviews or sending any witness copies of their statements.</text>
        <text id="202002182c9be813d7184c2ea0000532">I will revisit the question of reinstating the independent investigation pending the outcome of SAPOL's processes and any court processes on the matter of the member for Waite's alleged behaviour. I really have nothing to add to that, member for West Torrens.</text>
